Defect
On low-bed dump vehicles, insufficient consideration was given to the positioning of the rear combination lamps. During driving, ice, snow, and debris thrown up by the rear wheels may accumulate and form a solid mass against the seal on the back of the lamp housing. Continued use in this condition causes the seal to deform, allowing water to intrude into the lamp interior. As a result, the tail lamp and stop lamp may remain continuously illuminated or fail to illuminate.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the rear combination lamps are replaced with corrected/revised parts.

状況
ローダンプのリヤコンビネーションランプにおいて、ランプ配置の検討が不十分であったため、走行中に後輪が巻き上げた氷雪等が当該ランプ裏のシール部に堆積して塊状になることがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、シールが変形してランプ内部に水が浸入し、尾灯および制動灯が常灯あるいは不灯になるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、リヤコンビネーションランプを対策品と交換する。
